Best Submillimeter
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is a powerful radio telescope located in Chile's Atacama Desert. It utilizes an international collaboration to observe celestial objects at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. ALMA’s high sensitivity allows astronomers to study the format...
The Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) is a 12-meter submillimeter radio telescope located on the Llano de Chajnantor in Chile at an elevation of 5,105 meters. It is operated jointly by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, and the Onsala Space Obse...
The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) is a 15-meter astronomical observatory situated near the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. As the largest single-dish telescope in the world operating in the submillimeter wavelength range, it specializes in observing distant galaxies, star formation, and inters...
The Submillimeter Array is a radio interferometer located near the summit of Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii. It consists of eight movable antennas, each six meters in diameter, whose signals are combined to achieve higher angular resolution than a single antenna of comparable size. Operating at s...
